Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Medicare is a federal health insurance program that is available to almost everyone older than 65 years of age. The insured person contributes monthly premiums. Various prescription benefits are available.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
During labor, the positive feedback system is exemplified by the hormone oxytocin. Oxytocin intensifies the contractions of the uterus and enables the uterus to expel the fetus. Prolactin, melanocyte, and insulin are not responsible for the contractions of the uterus. Prolactin is a hormone secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary that
stimulates milk production in women following pregnancy. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone influences skin pigmentation. Insulin is the key regulator of carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism and storage.
